Penguin Language and Linguistics
Slang, swearing, 'sort of' phrases, poor grammar and
outlandish accents - the terrible scourge of 'bad language' is to be found all around
And yet, as this witty and incisive book makes clear, the prophets of gloom who claim that our language is getting worse are guided by emotion far more than by hard facts. There is no evidence, for example, that the four-letter words children pick up (usually by imitadng adults) can 'infect' the rest of their vocabulary. Indeed, they use an immense variety of short-lived words, many of which their elders never learn. Meaningless Tillers' are a useful part of everybody's speech, and English has never obeyed the rules of Ladn grammar.
The real truth, as Andersson and Trudgill illuminate in fascinating detail, is that change has always been inherent in language: what was once slang or a dialect pronunciation becomes 'standard English' (although this has never been spoken by a majority of native speakers).... Tovább

And yet, as this witty and incisive book makes clear, the prophets of gloom who claim that our language is getting worse are guided by emotion far more than by hard facts. There is no evidence, for example, that the four-letter words children pick up (usually by imitadng adults) can 'infect' the rest of their vocabulary.

Meaningless Tillers' are a useful part of everybody's speech, and English has never obeyed the rules of Ladn grammar.
The real truth, as Andersson and Trudgill illuminate in fascinating detail, is that change has always been inherent in language: what was once slang or a dialect pronunciation becomes 'standard English' (although this has never been spoken by a majority of native speakers). Children certainly need to learn that certain words and phrases are inappropriate in formal speech or writing, but that is no reason to let nostalgia or social snobbery turn us into priggish purists. All the signs indicate that English is flourishing; it is far better to enjoy its colourful variety than to sit in judgement. Vissza
